PRIVATE SECTOR RECYCLERS

Clothing, Fiber, Wiper Recyclers: End Users and Solution Providers

Reasons to join CTR:

• CTR - the only group working on the macro issues that affect your company and industry
• #1 goal: implementing a National PSA to increase awareness among consumers
• Increase visibility to suppliers of PCTW: charities, municipalities, and apparel and footwear companies.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency estimates that 85% of post consumer textile waste (PCTW) ends up in landfills or some 21 billion lbs each year. Meanwhile, economic pressures, global supply chain challenges, diminishing natural resources and public demand for "green" are making textile recycling an imperative.

Companies interested in leading on green initiatives and working to establish this growing movement should consider providing financial support to help the CTR reach its goal of implementing a national Public Service Announcement (PSA) campaign that will advise consumers to "WEAR. DONATE. RECYCLE."

By joining the CTR, you'll be supporting the ONLY nonprofit devoted to increasing awareness about textile recycling, and working to impact the flow of recycled materials to all stakeholders in the clothing, fiber and wiper recycling industries. In addition, your support will ensure your inclusion in a database of end users utilized by retailers, brands, municipalities and others searching for solution providers.
